Did you cry? I cried... (on the inside, I'm staunch, don't ya know!). Poor Itachi! Poor, poor Itachi! I always knew you weren't all that bad! Baw! Everything he did was for his innocent little bro, AWWW!!! It's almost heart-wrenching, the way Madara explains it so emotionlessly. Poor Itachi, my plushie is getting the biggest hugs when I get home!

And now I've REALLY got to hand it to Kishimoto! Who even REMEMBERS Fugaku talking about a 'secret mission', but now that I think about it, I HAD wondered about it at the time... The Uchiha were being all secretive and on top of that, so was Itachi... I almost cried (again... no, wait, I don't cry... bro...) at the awesome foreshadowing. Big congrats on that - the ressurrection of Kishimoto's plot is on it's way, by the looks of things. As is the artwork: could Sasuke not look any molesty-cuter as he goes from one shocked expression to the other? Nice. And all the shots of Itachi looking matyr-ish... Nice nice...

"The truth about Itachi drives Sasuke mad? Next time - A rigged fight!" - Who's got tingles? I know I do...



And I'm sorry, but Hoshino-san... MINI KANDA AND LAVI? ALLEN WITH LONG HAIR? WHA THE FA? I think you've been working too hard (but I appreciate it greatly <3)
